Using powerful movement and expression, we delve into and challenge death, femininity, sexiness, beauty, dirtiness, ugliness, and exhaustion. We are physically and emotionally invested in creating atmospheres that feel cinematic or ‘other worldly’. The work is brave, innovative, and provocatively edgy. Together we create provocative, site-sensitive performance projects. We make live art experiences.

Live Absence, Recorded Presence

MPG members Laura Cherry and Treacle Holasz will be performing a trio with Kate March on September 7th 2011 as part of Debut Contemporary's First Wednesday Series.

Can you be remotely interested...

Press ReleaseHow are you watching this? Me? Us? What is happening in your head? What emotion, what memory is this movement stirring in your mind? This performance explores how one perceives live performance and what it really means to be live. This is a physical theatre - dance piece choreographed by Kate March, and her dancers Laura Cherry & Treacle from The March Performance Group. The work has been created through a new question & answer style of multi-media choreography. Kate is working closely with the theme of Live & Life in ** posting videos of her movement online to her dancers in London who create movement directly from Kate's films & send back their filmed movement response. The choreography process & conversation is documented thoroughly due to the nature in which we're working. This enables the work to be more influenced by the thinking process behind the movement itself. The company are pioneering multi-media choreography embracing the technological advancements available to the dance & theatre world.The group will also be collavorating with fashion designers Rosie Alia and Ziad Ghanem on the night
